: Pulpotomy of primary teeth provides favorable clinical results over time; however, to date, there is still not a consensus on an ideal pulp dressing material. Therefore, the aim of the present systematic review was to compare pulpotomy agents to establish a preferred material to use. : After raising a PICO question, the PRISMA guideline was adopted to carry out an electronic search through the MEDLINE database to identify comparative studies on several pulp dressing agents, published up to October 2019. : The search resulted in 4274 records; after exclusion, a total of 41 papers were included in the present review. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine and ferric sulphate yielded good clinical results over time and might be safely used in the pulpotomies of primary molars. Among agents, MTA seemed to be the material of choice. On the contrary, calcium hydroxide showed the worst clinical performance. Although clinically successful, formocreosol should be replaced by other materials, due to its potential cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity. : MTA seemed to be the gold standard material in the pulpotomy of primary teeth. Promising results were also provided by calcium silicate-based cements. Further randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with adequate sample sizes and long follow-ups are encouraged to support these outcomes.

As wound dressings and wearable electronics advance, it is critical to develop an efficacious strategy for integrating a variety of powerful functions into hydrogels. In this work, sodium lignosulfonate‑silver nanoparticles and the functional [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide structure (SBMA) are introduced into the multifunctional lignin-based hydrogel system. The sodium lignosulfonate‑silver nanoparticles, by catalyzing multiple redox reactions, facilitate the swift curing of hydrogels at room temperature.

Unlabelled: Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has been suggested for the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature teeth. There are only a few reports of using RET to treat a horizontal root fracture. The aim of this paper is to describe successful regenerative retreatment in a tooth with a horizontal root fracture and dens invaginatus.

Bacterial infections pose a significant threat to global public health, demanding innovative solutions in biomedical field. Lignin is a naturally abundant polyphenol-rich polymer, offer promising potential to fabricate advance biomaterials for biomedical applications. Hence, a composite hydrogel with antimicrobial and antioxidant activities based on the development of dynamic covalent bonds among sodium alginate, lignin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) was designed.

Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses an apexification procedure on a necrotic, infected tooth with an open apex, emphasizing the importance of disinfecting the canal for successful treatment.
- The patient, a 24-year-old man, had a maxillary central incisor affected by apical periodontitis due to a past injury, and the treatment involved the use of sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and calcium hydroxide dressing.
- Following the application of concentrated growth factor (CGF) as a stabilizing matrix, the tooth showed positive healing results after one year, suggesting CGF's potential as an effective scaffold in treating similar cases.
Article Synopsis
- This case report discusses a finger injury where the patient had a fingertip amputation but was stable after the incident with controlled blood loss.
- The injury involved the finger pulp and nailbed but didn’t expose the bone.
- Treatment included a split-thickness dermal graft that led to complete healing within two weeks and a return to normal sensation after five months, showcasing a good cosmetic and functional result.
